Discover how Treg cell therapies rethink precision medicine for autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes, MS, and transplant rejection.

The regulatory division of the immune system is vital for its overall function. Immune T cells originate in the bone marrow and then travel to the thymus—a kind of biological police academy. 2 Here, ...

Researchers have published the first description of the role of the ZFP36 family of RNA binding proteins in regulatory T cells (Tregs). Tregs are key to maintaining balance in the immune system and ...

While presenting this year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to three immunologists who discovered and characterized regulatory T cells, committee chair Olle Kämpe, M.D., Ph.D., told the ...

In most solid tumors, high numbers of regulatory T (Treg) cells are associated with poorer outcomes because they dampen the immune system's ability to fight against a tumor. Subscribe to our ...

Recurrent pregnancy loss can be devastating and exert a major impact on women, their partners, and society more broadly, but currently there are few options for effective therapies. Over several years ...

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region plays a crucial role in immune function; therefore, any genetic or epigenetic polymorphisms within the MHC locus may result in various diseases, as ...

During infections, the immune system needs to distinguish foreign antigens that are expressed by invading bacteria and viruses from self-antigens that are expressed by cells of the body. If not, the ...

In most solid tumors, high numbers of regulatory T (Treg) cells are associated with poorer outcomes because they dampen the immune system's ability to fight against a tumor. Colorectal cancer, however ...
